I washed my fabric and put in dryer, when I took it out the drum of my dryer had the blue color on it and I don't know how to get it off. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes. It seems to only happen with blue. I have never noticed anything else picking up the colour, and my dryer just continues to sport a fancy interior.

Mine too, but it is just around the inside rim. Doesn't seem to rub off on anything else. :)

I believe that once you get those stains, they are permanent.

Yep, my dryer is blue, too.

Next time, try using a color grabber cloth.

You could try using hairspray. I got ink on the inside of my dryer, once, and nothing got it off until I tried the hairspray. That worked instantly.

I'd be afraid I wouldn't get it all wiped off and my next batch of clothes would have bleach fades.

Dry a load of not new towels. What color, if any, will go on the towels and not be noticeable.

Mine is blue too. Mine came of jeans. It has been on there now for 5 years, happened the year we bought our new washer and dryer.
